Exit for 5th Street near Interstate 94
As you exit 94 Eastbound onto 5th Street, it is posted 30 prior to entering the tunnel (seems unrealistic to me, as you are just exiting the freeway, probably at 50-55 mph), cop gauges you in tunnel, and flags you down as you decelerate out of the tunnel (he’s just sitting at the side of the road about 100 yards out of the tunnel!).
